Hotel Sovestro, San Gimingnano

San Gimignano (Siena)

   
   

Situated in a delightful position just 2 km from the impressive tall towers of the historic town of San Gimignano, the Hotel Sovestro stretches across a vast park of pine trees, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and luxuriant Tuscan and Mediterranean vegetation.

The hospitality of the Hotel Sovestro is refined and characteristic of the local area. The professionalism of the staff and the constant presence of the proprietors, Alfredo, Sergio and Lucia Failli, with their daughters - means that you can always be assured of a warm welcome and a relaxing stay at the Hotel Sovestro. Here guests can experience all the flavour and colour of a territory which has been remained virtually unchanged since the great medieval pilgrimages and the Renaissance.

The Hotel Sovestro offers 40 rooms in total of which twenty eight are on the ground floor, each with its own adjacent, panoramic garden for private use. The other twelve rooms are located on the first floor with a balcony. All the rooms are decorated in a simple but elegant style and each have a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, minibar, TV LCD 26", Sky Tv, telephone, with air-conditioning or heating depending on the season. The building materials used include open brickwork, tiles, valuable woods and curtain fabrics and evoke the warm atmosphere of the farmhouses of yester-year. Everything is visibly oriented towards satisfying the various needs of guests, at whatever time of year they choose to stay.

An indispensable component of any relaxing holiday is a pool and at the Hotel Sovestro there are two to choose from, both set in a reserved and sunny position.

The Hotel Sovestro is also equipped for disabled guests. The staff are on hand to ensure you get the most from your holiday so as well as added extras such as a spacious parking area shaded by the foliage of pine trees, easy access to the swimming pools and the practical laundry room, to the courteous and discreet attention of all staff who can supply assistance and information on the facilities available in the neighbourhood.

Just a few metres from the entrance of Hotel Sovestro lies the exceptionally welcoming "da Pode" Restaurant. Sympathetically renovated to maintain the original architectural and decorative details of old-fashioned rural style - beams and stone, terracotta floors - the restaurant is situated in an old farmhouse with a chimney that delivers happily inviting scrolls of smoke.

The balance between nature and tradition returns in the cuisine of the "da Pode" Restaurant. All the dishes, prepared and served under the watchful eye of Lucia, are created using only the freshest, locally produced ingredients and the varied recipes typical of the House and of internationally famous Tuscan cuisine. The choice of wines is also excellent, living up to the expectations of what one would expect to find in a geographic area with a winemaking vocation of which the nation is rightfully proud. The rest is performed by the affable, constant willingness of the proprietors to create the best possible atmosphere among diners.

From the Hotel Sovestro you can visit many important historica sites such as San Gimignano, Sienna, Certaldo or Volterra and walking excursions and cultural trips of all kinds are encouraged. Guests can also take part in the the following activities nearby; trekking, mountain-bike and motorcycle hire, tennis, golf, horse-riding.

The famous 'Palio' horserace of Siena is an authentic festivity of people and one not to be missed. It is a beautiful competition that it's celebrated every 2 July and 16 August on the ring of "tufo" of the Piazza del Campo.
